Chapter 226

Chapter 226 – Chapter 48 – Myth

There were some things In-gong knew because he had conquered the white woman .

The Four Riders of the Apocalypse were truly godlike beings .

However, they were different from Erebos or Mother Earth . Erebos and Mother Earth were just beings who kept the balance of the world . They didn’t have clear personalities . Although it was possible to interact with them, it was impossible to establish a dialogue or emotional exchange with them .

Therefore, they didn’t intervene despite the imminent destruction of the Demon World . They only gave strength to those who longed for power and desire .

The elder dragons resembled the Four Riders of the Apocalypse . Like them, the elder dragons were gods with personality and flesh .

1,000 years ago, all Four Riders of the Apocalypse had lost their bodies . So, they couldn’t influence the world except through their knights .

The elder dragons’ situation wasn’t much better . No, it was worse . Half of the elder dragons had lost their flesh and the remaining three couldn’t function properly . Cruel Talia still hadn’t woken up from her healing sleep, while Enkidu and Queian had regained consciousness but not their strength .

In-gong understood Conquest, and the white woman shared her feelings with him . She had her own unique personality and feelings . Conquest refused the fate of destruction . Despite being born as one of the Four Riders of the Apocalypse, she longed for the world to be protected .

Her wish was small and trivial, a flower which bloomed in the ruins of her mind . It was small and beautiful, slender and pathetic . However, despite the harsh winds, it didn’t give up on living . The fluctuation was small, but her mind shook surely . Every time she took one step toward the end of the world, the shaking got bigger .

The other riders also had feelings . Due to that, they still felt affection towards Conquest who had betrayed them . They both loved and hated her, and those sentiments were confusing .

The elder dragons were similar . Recorder Torres gave his heart for Conquest . Watcher Ainkel sympathized with Conquest, and Guardian Queian didn’t believe Conquest . There was doubt and hate .

If so, what about the red dragon? Did he have a personality or was he just a monster? Despite being banished from the world, he had maintained his existence for thousands of years . That tenacity was indeed amazing . His will to destroy the world was very solid .

However, In-gong had made up his mind . He just didn’t think about it .

‘I don’t care . ’

So what if he had personalities and feelings? The red dragon wanted to destroy the world, and the riders were just helping him . If so, In-gong would stop it . It was the same as what the sword duke always said . He had to protect his precious things and smash the incoming enemies!

The will of Enkidu, passed on through Earth Quaker, laughed . Feelings of embarrassment were passed on from Guardian Queian through the Warrior’s Sword .

‘My master . ’

Conquest whispered . Green Wind whined, but it was only briefly .

In-gong looked away . The red dragon stopped, and they stared at each other .

The red dragon gave off a strong presence . In-gong was reborn as the true incarnation of Dhrtarastra, but he still couldn’t reach that strength . The power of a god alone wasn’t enough .

He had dominated Conquest and become the true Conquest Knight, but it was still insufficient . The power of one who desired the end of the world wouldn’t bring down the monster .

The equipment of the elder dragons had unified . Although their bodies had been lost, their souls were passed on through the equipment . Ainkel’s dragon heart had become one with the Moonlight Core, and he was now the true Drakon Kechatulla .

However, it was still lacking . Despite all of this, In-gong couldn’t narrow the small distance between him and the red dragon .

The red dragon stared at In-gong . Thousands of black beasts and soldiers were fighting in combat, but at this moment, there seemed to only be the red dragon and In-gong .

‘Master . ’

At this moment, Green Wind spoke in a voice like she wanted to help him . In-gong gave a small laugh . He was able to see it now . In-gong understood what the white woman and Green Wind were saying . So, he accepted it without any resistance .

The light column of the Sanctuary started to emit a stronger light, and the red dragon widened his wings and roared like Earth Quaker .

The last piece…

It was being transmitted from the Sanctuary . This was something that only he could inherit from the Sanctuary .

The demon king didn’t simply refer to the king of the Demon World . The demon king was the protector of the Sanctuary . Just like Erebos and Mother Earth, it was the person who maintained the strength of the Sanctuary itself .

The Sanctuary, which had lost Mitra, wanted a new demon king . They had opened the shield in order to accept In-gong .

The red dragon unleashed his magic power . Once again, disaster struck the battlefield . However, it was too late . The succession had already begun .

Time seemed to slow down, like it had frozen over . In-gong was reminded of the past .

At first, he had just wanted to live . He’d just thought about not wanting to be killed by Zephyr . Then his thoughts changed . He wanted to protect Felicia and Caitlin, and prevent that disastrous future .

In-gong continued to meet more people, then he wanted to protect Chris and Silvan as well . It was the same with Anastasia . He wished to protect all the children of the demon king .

Then In-gong remembered Green Wind begging him to pat her head… Amita smiling happily with a big belly and Elaine’s mischievous grin . There was also the sword duke’s greetings with Felicia and Anastasia and Sylvia’s gentle hug… Vandal chuckling next to the blushing Nayatra . Delia, Seira, Karma, and Daphne were also essential .

“I’m sorry, are you leaving me out?”

Carack laughed in In-gong’s imagination, and In-gong laughed as well .

The light continued . The white light from the Sanctuary wrapped around In-gong . It became one with the power of Conquest and grew even more . The red dragon used his magic power . Simultaneously, In-gong also exuded an enormous magic power with an angry cry .

Everyone looked at In-gong, and it was accepted by all . The strongest person in the Demon World…

Protector of the Demon World… The demon king… In-gong was the one who took over the throne from the sura king, Mitra!

The magics of the red dragon collided with In-gong in midair . The tremendous collision created a vicious magic vortex in the air . However, this was just a skirmish . Each of the red dragon’s seven heads had different powers .

In-gong wasn’t watching quietly, and the protagonist brought all his strength together .

Felicia and Caitlin, who stood right beside In-gong, roared simultaneously . The two people awakened as apostles of Conquest . Felicia, who was on the verge of exhaustion from faster than the wind, laughed . Meanwhile, Caitlin raised up the full strength of her wilderness and revealed a beautiful beast-like person .

In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them . Call had been used despite the fact that In-gong hadn’t cried out a name . The King’s Knights gathered through In-gong’s power . Nayatra looked around her with a surprised expression as a mighty magic power moved around her body . Her purple hair blew in the wind . Vandal was also reborn as an apostle . He grew to a huge size reminiscent of a giant . Karma, who had already experienced the apostle upgrade, dealt with her power skillfully, and many spirits gathered around her .

Silvan stood beside Felicia . The power of Conquest allowed him complete control over the fairy .

“My master . ”

“Master!”

The white woman said in a sweet voice, while Green Wind, who had become the goddess of the wind, cried out competitively .

“What a mess, a mess . ”

Carack laughed before blowing the horn again . It was to spread news to the whole Demon World that a new demon king had ascended . The black sky shook, and the white crack broke the red moon .

Chris burst out laughing . It was right before the decisive battle, but he couldn’t help wanting to laugh . He envied Caitlin, Felicia, and Silvan who were gathered in one place . He should’ve closed his eyes and entered the King’s Knights .

Anastasia admitted it . It was curiously comforting . Maybe she had known that this was going to happen . No, she had definitely known . She had guessed it since the moment she’d been saved by In-gong in Curtis .

A smile appeared on her face . Anastasia had thought she would be upset, but she wasn’t . Baikal orabeoni’s words were right . They weren’t enemies, they were competitors . However, In-gong was just more suitable to becoming the demon king .

Then she remembered the words that Felicia and Caitlin always said .

‘Shutra .

‘Truly, Shutra . ’

Zephyr closed his eyes, simply accepting it . He was a prince of the Demon World and out of reach of War’s madness, Famine’s greed, and Death’s darkness . Zephyr was only responsible for his duties .

‘It’s okay, Zephyr is still the coolest to me! And keep this a secret, but you are better than Erebos! Kyah! It will be okay! I’m telling you!’

Altesia’s voice was heard in his head . She used message magic on such useless words, but Zephyr couldn’t help smiling .

Warrior Locke grabbed another sword while listening to the sound of the horn in the sky . Guardian Queian had given him another powerful sword which contained the magic of a dragon . The true Drakon Kechatulla had returned, but Locke was still a warrior of the Human World . Beatrice prayed while Carlov tied his hair up .

Seven pillars of light emerged from the red dragon’s seven heads . At the same time, In-gong and everyone else started to move . Rather than fleeing from the fearsome power of destruction, they faced it head on .

The sword duke wielded his sword . He cut through one pillar of light like he’d done with the tsunami of undead . Silvan and Felicia held hands and used the magic power of the fairy to block one light column .

Zephyr and Quanta blocked another pillar . Altesia and Beatrice used their miracles of light and darkness to crush one light pillar, while Locke roared and attacked another .

Five pillars of light were thwarted . One of the remaining two were handled by the queens . Sylvia’s and Titania’s powers twisted the trajectory of the light pillar, while Elaine concentrated the auras of the Blood Companions and destroyed the light pillar .

One pillar of light remained . In-gong rushed toward it as it extended straight to the Sanctuary . Caitlin followed In-gong . He moved through the air and aimed White Eagle at the giant pillar of light . Then Green Wind cried out with him!

“Absolute Area!”

It was White Eagle’s super special move! A brilliant green light collided with the column of light and split it into hundreds of branches . The trajectory was reflected, and the branches aimed for the red dragon instead .

However, In-gong didn’t stop . He reached for Caitlin’s waist while casting another skill .

‘Black Specter . ’

He triggered the super special move of Night Watch, Violent Kaltein’s equipment .

In-gong turned into blue smoke . There was the sound of hundreds of wings flapping as he rushed toward the red dragon .
